This beautiful gospel song brings back so many wonderful memories and reminds me of the incredible blessing that was Vestal Goodman’s voice and ministry. She was truly one of the greatest female gospel singers of her generation, and there was something deeply special and heartfelt about the way she sang. Her music was never just about vocal ability—it carried sincerity, passion, and a spirit that touched people in a powerful way. Listening to her sing always had a way of reaching beyond the melody and speaking directly to the soul, bringing comfort, joy, and a reminder of God’s goodness.

Her rendition of “What A Lovely Name” in this Bill & Gloria Gaither Homecoming Concert is such a beautiful testimony to the remarkable gift she was given and the incredible presence she brought whenever she stood before an audience. You can hear not only her talent and singing prowess, but also the faith and conviction behind every word she sang. Even though she is no longer with us, her legacy continues to live on and inspire both longtime gospel listeners and younger generations discovering these timeless songs for the first time. Praise the Lord for the life and ministry of Vestal Goodman, and may everyone who listens be uplifted, encouraged, and richly blessed.

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

Jerusalem Lyrics

Song by The Hoppers

John saw the city, that could not be hid
John saw this city, oh yes he did
John caught a glimpse of the golden throne
Tell me all about it, go right on

Around the throne he saw a crystal sea
There’s got to be more, what will it be
I want to go, to that city he saw
New Jerusalem

Jerusalem
I want to walk, your streets that are golden
And I want to run, where the angels have trod
Jerusalem
I want to rest, on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God

John saw the lion, lay down by the lamb
I wanna know everything about that land
John saw the day but he did not see night
The lamb of God, well, he must be the light

And he saw the saints worship the great I Am
Crying worthy, worthy is the lamb
I want to go to that city he saw
New Jerusalem

Jerusalem I want to walk your streets that are golden
And I want to run where the angels have trod
Jerusalem I want to rest on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o’er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forever
Forever more

Jerusalem
I want to walk, your streets that are golden
And I want to run, where the angels have trod
Jerusalem

I want to rest, on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God
City of God
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
City of God
It’s the city of God
